Used Toyota Verso cars for sale

The Verso is available in 3 engine options: a 1.6 litre diesel, 1.6 litre petrol and 1.8 litre petrol. If fuel economy is a critical concern for you, the 67-79 mpg diesel engine is the right choice. However, if you need a more powerful ride, the petrol motor options are better for you. The petrol engines emit 50% more CO2 than the diesel engine, so expect a slightly higher road tax.

If you need a fun car for driving and cruising at high speeds, then this is not the ride for you. However, the Verso offers comfortable motorway driving for daily commutes and in-town trips with the kids riding along. It provides sufficient grip and has light controls, in addition to its solid feel on the tarmac. However, when tackling sharp bends at high speed, it tends to have an uninspiring body roll.

If comfort means low road-noise, ample legroom and headroom for reasonably tall adults, plus sufficient space for the kids, then the Verso checks all the boxes. The front and middle rows are spacious, and the seats can also slide back for extra legroom. With the Toyota Easy Flat folding system, you can get over 32 different seating combinations, ensuring you'll have no trouble staying comfortable during a long journey.

Since it is not a category-leading car, the Verso is priced lower than most of its competitors. It's also only available in the used auto market, so you can expect to pay much less than its original release price. It also has a low yearly running cost, partly because of Toyota's reputation for producing reliable and durable road machines. Insurance is also very affordable, with the Verso falling into groups 10 and 11. In contrast, most of its other competitors fall into groups 12-15.

While it's a reliable and efficient car, the Verso is not a full-size MPV, though it can handle a fair amount of luggage. You get 1,155 litres with all 7 seats in place, which increases by an additional 440 litres with the last row folded down. Folding down the second row gives you a massive 1,696 litres of boot space. However, it is still far less than the 2,020 litres of space in the Ford S-Max and 2,181 litres offered in the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. It makes up for the smaller storage space by providing a wealth of safety features.

The Verso was last crash-tested by the Euro NCAP in 2010 and scored an impressive 5-star rating. Even though the safety requirements have become stricter since then, the Toyota Verso remains a reasonably safe car. It comes with many safety features as a standard in all trims, including 7 airbags, electric stability control, a safety belt warning buzzer and traction control. Each trim level also has patented Toyota Safety Technology, which provides lane-departure warning and autonomous braking to avoid collisions.
